Framing: What is it, why we use it, and how to do it
Framing is when you use an object or something to the outside of your picture. Using framing helps to highlight the main subject of your picture. Framing also helps create depth in your picture because there will be different layers. Framing also helps to draw the person looking at your picture into your picture. If you want to start using framing in your pictures you should first start by when you are taking a picture looking around and seeing if there is anything that would go around two or three sides of the picture. The you want to make sure that you have a shallow depth of field so that it will blur it a little bit and then you take a picture.
Pictures I took
This image follows framing because in the picture the head lock is slightly blurred. Also the gate frames three sides which is enough for it to actually be framed.
This picture sort of shows framing because in the picture the gazebo rails are on four sides. The only thing is there is not a main subject really and the gazebo rails are a little too dark.
This picture shows framing because in the picture the playground thing is making a frame for the school busses.
This picture shows framing because in the picture the plant is framing the sign. One thing that I would change about this picture though is I would make it brighter.
Featured Image
I chose this picture as my featured image because I like how the headlock frames the calf. I also like how the gate is slightly blurred but then the calf is very clear. I also chose this picture because I think that it is the prettiest one that I took.
